side opposite National Bank evening OF
shooting; saw Col Hamilton that evening:
did not see him go up stairs in the
building; was rot in a room with him :
didn't know that he had ever been in
a room in the building; saw Colonel
Hamilton's red wagon there. The pistol
being exhibited he said that he took it from
Col. Hamilton that night. He had never
seen it in the light, Witness did not de-
liver the pistol to Albreeht. Ca-raway ex-
amined it, and witness thinks he SAYS il
was loaded. Witness got pistol from Ham
ilton as he was coming up the street after
the shooting. Thinks Col Hamilton had
on coat but Is not certain about the vest.
Witness unbuckled the scabbard after
Hamilton got into the room over the store.
Hamilton saia when he met him that he
was shot, that his arm was brokea Ham
ilton walked up stairs, Didn't near any
body tell Hamilton that Gambreil was
dead in the room. Saw Eubanks in the
room where Hamilton was that night.
Didn't see Albrecht in the room Saw
Carraway in the room. Some one took the
pistol of the desk, If the pistol shown is
Hamilton and anybody else has testified
or will testify that it was given TO him by
Hamilton, ii must be a mistake. Eubanks
didn't say anything about the killing that
night Did say that Gambrell shot first

promote more perfect union; to preserve
the blessings of liberty for themselves and
their posterity. They were unioniste; they
believed in the growth and strength and
power of the republic. The republican
party is the representative of this theory.
It marshalled the union forces for the pres
ervation of the union, and against
secession. It preserved the union. But

years it administered the executive branch
Of the government on these ideas. It was

Tho future opens before N an infinite
variety of questions which viii turn on the
extent of national authority. The revenues
must be reduced. This the republican party
did many times since the war, and carefully
selected for repeal or reduction, taxes on
home production and duties on articles that
did not compete with homo industry. We
added to the free lists, made free from all
duty moro than one third In value Of all the
articles or merchandise imported from for
eign countries, including al articles In
common use among our people which could

coffee. We levied Q duty on tho remaining
tvo-thirds sufficient 10 raise all tho revenue
needed, almost exclusively on articles that
competed with home products. In this
way We 90 protected our industry that
nearly every article Of common use
on the farm, in the Workshop
or the household is made In this country.
Nearly all the articles, except sugar. from
which this large revenue il derived, arc arti-
Giles Of luxury, mainly consumed By the
rich. A protective duty has cen placed on
sugar for the benefit of the sugar planters
of Louisiana. but We now propose a. one
means Of reducing surplus revenue to
largely reduce this tax, and as protection
TO sugar growers some propose TO pay out
of the duties on sugar bounty for the home
production Of all kinds of sugar from cane,
